Texas, USAI'll be honest - I have no idea. I don't know how to handle that stuff. What do other communities do? I'd say go for whatever is comfortable.
Hey y'all,
As I'm sure y'all have noticed from the recent grinds and subsequent lowering of the world record, I have not been keeping up with submissions. I'd like to add one or two additional people that are at least verifiers if not moderators. Any takers?
I did see this post. I'll be up front - I'm currently the only moderator for this game and that's largely because I took over from some previously inactive moderators so I could get my own run up. I don't really want to verify ILs and if ILs become a thing, I'd need a moderator willing to verify them and some existing videos of just IL runs.
This is a discussion that comes up regularly in the Discord. You're able to replay levels at any point during the game and this would be the best way to do ILs, so at some point you have to define the rules. What loadouts are acceptable to do a stage with? The ILs that usually get the most attention when this is discussed are ones done during an any% run, but there are multiple any% routes with varying levels of %.
Basically, there isn't really a community consensus on acceptable rules and the community hasn't really had the drive to come up with them.
The large number of battles in the sequel that involve casting Haste on the fighters and letting them go wild make me inclined to never ban the Quick option.
Do it. Any release of the game by Sierra is fair game.
We don't use the in-game timer. It has some known inaccuracies. In particular if you quit out of a stage then any IGT used in the stage is reset.
Hey go right ahead!
MoO1 doesn't currently see a lot of activity. I did debate the series thing at one point, if only to eventually have a leaderboard for Master of Orion 3 (I'm sure someone out there probably wants to see it). Let's do it. If Civilization has a series, why not us?
Odds are good that those are new challenges added in a later patch that weren't in the original one.
Burn, S-Attacker and Spark to ZR for me. Movement tool.
I'm not particularly good at mashing and prefer to use ZL for Crusher or Stinger as Sophia/Jason but I do occasionally menu to change that shortcut for Jason (say if I needed seeker for a boss weakness but normally spam stinger).
Bind to ZL as Andreia.
As a sanity check I went ahead and pulled out my Switch. Reproduced bubble wrap as Shovel Knight. It's definitely there, but might be a little unintuitive (even as plague knight).
A couple of seconds maybe. That time is absolutely beatable without the clip.
After some discussion on the discord, we're renaming some of the categories to make them more consistent with other speedgames. The plan is to switch to an any% w/ restrictions framework
Ex:
Before: QFG1VGA Major Skips After: QFG1VGA Any% No Stat Glitch
No categories are actually being changed. We're just re-naming existing categories to better fit conventions set by other games.
Patch 1.3 for the Switch has been released, as well as the version dated November 29th for Steam. Unfortunately these versions have patched out the old method of doing the Divido clip which means any runs on the older patch will have an insurmountable advantage over more modern runs. Since we don't currently have a good way to downpatch to 1.2 without jailbreaking the Switch, we've split out Any% and Good Ending categories into Modern and Legacy sub-categories. All existing runs have been put under the Legacy sub-category. If you've been looking forward to running Copen, a new category has been added for him.
Please let moderation staff know if you have any questions.
I have a game https://www.speedrun.com/advanced_dungeons_and_dragons_champions_of_krynn that is currently part of the https://www.speedrun.com/dungeons_and_dragons series. But I found the https://www.speedrun.com/gold_box_adandd series and Champions of Krynn fits better under the gold box series.

I have a submitted run to this leaderboard that has gone unverified for over a month. I sent a message to the mod on twitch last Monday and have yet to hear back from them. I'd like to be added as a mod to this board.
What's the refresh rate on your monitor(s)?
I would agree with your interpretation. Some people might disagree about where exactly to end the timer, but as currently written it should stop with cursor change on Ad Avis' death.
